CSS - Ie 6 Div Spacing Issue

Hi there,

I am building a site which is working fine in Netscape but is not showing correctly in IE 6. The yellow line I have is not "listening" to its 10px height and there is some mystery spacing occuring around it at well....I have looked around, but can't seen to figure out what the fix is. I would really appreciate some help!

Here is the .css and the link: http://www.kohlrbaby.com/vcc/boxlesson.htm

Hi everyone,

I'm a little stumped on why I'm having a wide space showing up when viewing a particular page with FF and not IE7.

Take a look at the following page...

http://spotabusiness.com/View-user-profile.html?user=403

Notice the big space between the profile picture and the tabbed box below it in FF. This space doesn't exist when using IE7.

Thanks for any input

Trying to resolve the spacing issues when using a list. IE honors the set margin while FF appears to add much more amrgin spacing. I have tried using display:inline but when I do, I lose the haning indent.

Any suggestions?

the 2 pages below have some general layout css issues, like too much white space above the grey line AND though they both use the same right bar (I uses a PHP include) the format is different in both. The green line is the toughest...it won't extend the height of the page.

Any ideas?

I attached my style sheet as well. thanks.

I have a list of faculty members with a picture and bio for each entry and I am having trouble creating a consistent amount of vertical space between the entries. This is because some of the bios are shorter than the picture and some are longer, requiring me (for the shorter entries) to add <br />s to the bio to reach the end of the picture. Of course, depending on the browser and display settings, a greater or smaller number of <br />s are needed to get to the end of the picture so code that looks right on one pc does not look right on another. Here's a sample of the code I am using:

Code:

<h3 class="blue_title">Bob Smith</h3>
<p><em><img height="141" width="120" src="images/stories/bob.jpg" alt="bob" style="margin: 7px 10px 0px 0px; float: left;" />Faculty in Math and Physics.</em><br />The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. <em>Since&nbsp;1999.</em></p>
<br /><br /><br />
<p> </p>
<h3 class="blue_title">Edgar Jones</h3>
<p><em><img height="141" width="120" src="images/stories/edgar.jpg" alt="edgar" style="margin: 7px 10px 0px 0px; float: left;" />Faculty in Spanish, Greek, Latin,<br />and Latin American History.</em><br />he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.<em>Since&nbsp;2005.</em></p>
<p> </p>

Because the bio in the first entry is short, I need those three extra <br />s to reach the bototm of the picture (otherwise the next entry floats up and into the first). But as a result, the spacing between entries where the top entry needed <br />s looks wrong compared to other entries depending on the user's individual settings.

Any sugestions for how to fix this problem? I guess I could set up a table and use different rows for each entry, but I was hoping not to need a table.

Thanks.

(p.s. - I am using joomla for this site but I don't think that's relevant to this question.)

So I am using tables for a specific part of a website and I'm running into a problem with how IE vs Everything else is treating the CSS for it.

I have the padding and margins set to 0 for the table/cells/rows etc and this works perfectly in everything BUT.......wait for it...........wait for it........ IE where it is putting what I believe to be a 2px cellpadding which wouldn't matter except that the background color and border are different colors so it looks bad. Now the only way I've been able to solve this is by adding a 'cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" in the HTML of the table...but this then messes things up for every OTHER browser..... Anyway around this seeing as how apparently css has no 'cellpadding or cellspacing' attribute?

This may actually be a css not a javascript question. Those two are so tightly coupled the distinction blurs. My apologies if it is in the wrong forum.

I adapted this social network bookmarking thing that I've seen kicking around.
It uses prototype and scriptaculous that is why I am posting it here.

It basically has an icon for each social network with a custom link to save the current page to the network in question. It appears on the following page

http://demo.tixrus.us/calendar.php?filter=all

below the calendar. The spacing is all wrong when it first renders, I want all the icons to be jam packed together. As you can see, it messes up and puts the last one at the beginning of a new row (not what I want). Now if you hide them and then click Social Networks again, they appear the way I wanted them in the first place. Is it because in the source
each icon is on its own line?
Code:

<a href="xxxxx"><img ....../></a>
<a href="yyyyy"><img ...../></a>

as opposed to jam packing the codes into extremely long lines
Code:

<a href="xxxxx"><img ....../></a><a href="yyyyy"><img ...../></a>

I remember this being an issue with most browsers many yrs ago..
I could run each row together on a huge line but it would make the code template even harder to read and maintain than it already is. So if there is some style thing I can do I would prefer to do that. The stylesheet for this stuff is at the bottom of

http://demo.tixrus.us/styles/tixstyles.css

I already explicitly set the height and width for the icons (they weren't previously) and that is fine but it was never the issue and it doesn't solve the spacing issue.

Hi,
This renders ok in firefox but not in IE, it places extra space between the elements. Can someone correct it for me please, i cant see where im going wrong. Thanks.

the CSS:
Code:

#menu {
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	border-top: 1px solid black;
	border-left: 1px solid black;
	border-right: 1px solid black;
	
}
#menu ul {
	border: 0px;
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	list-style-type: none;
	text-align: center;
}

#menu ul li {
	display: block;
	text-align: left;
	padding: 0px;
	margin: 0px;
}


#menu ul li a {
	border-top: none;
	border-bottom: 1px solid black;
	padding: 2px;
	margin: 0px;
	text-decoration: none;
	display: block;
}

#menu a:link, #menu a:visited {
	color: black;
	text-decoration: none;
}

#menu a:hover, #menu a:active {
	background-color: #fffed9;
}

the html:
Code:

<div id="menu">
  <ul>
    <li><a href="#">item 1</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">item 2</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">item 3</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">item 4</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">item 5</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>

plug this in and view it in ie and you'll see what i mean.

Well, I am finishing up my portfolio website, and I am running into an issue with the footer.

For the CSS for my footer I have:

Code:

.footer {
	background-image: url('images/header-top.gif');
	background-repeat: repeat-x;
	background-color: #2b2f36;
	width: 100%;
	height: 80px;
	margin-top: 900px;
	color: #FFFFFF;
	text-align: center;
	padding-top: 30px;
}

I have to have the "margin-top" because if I don't it will automatically be set to the top, behind everything else. On Firefox, and IE7 it seems to be coming out good, only issue is with IE6. I am aware that IE6 has spacing issues, is there a simple hack or quick fix I can do? If not, what is the best solution to do this?

This is starting to bug me this problem, but on my site www.readinginfo.co.uk the background image (inner shadow and small gradient) at the top is playing up. It doesn't seem to want to align all the way over to the left, however as is always the way, it is working in firefox, ie7, 8 and safari. I've tried some of the ie6 fixes mentioned but I have the sneakiest of feelings that it is to do with the form element (the search box), positioning absolutely just bumps it over to the side. Thanks in advance for any reply!!

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

The contents in my .ContentContainer are positioned differently in IE6 and FF. I want them to look like FF. What is wrong with my CSS that makes IE6 have more space on the left side of the green globe than FF?

My goal is to have the 2 blue vertical lines line up. They line up in FF and IE7, but not in IE6.

This is my first time ever working with CSS. I am trying to put together a site; however, I am havings some setbacks straight out of the gate. I am trying to get the navigation bar to align up against the header. How do I eliminate the spacing between the header and the navigation bar? I have tried the padding: 0; method with no luck. PLEASE HELP!

Hi Guys

I am having trouble trying to work out a bug that is creating a space between two div containers. To see what i mean click here for web page the css can be viewed here

in firefox the two containers appear correctly but in internet explorer there is a 10px space between them.

Could it have something to do with the background images? The div containing the login form also drops down in ie and i am convinced this is related to the main problem i am facing.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello All,

I wanted to ask a question. I'm having trouble with spacing between two divs. Here's the site I'm working on: johnraymondonline.com/mjbfoundation/

The problem is that I'm trying to put a 20pixel margin between the bottom footer div (that contains "test test") and the div just above it. I'm not having much luck at all. I've done a clear and also have checked the divs several times to see if I've missed any. I've even put a div between with some height and that doesn't work. I'm not sure if one of the div's above it has a fixed height.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
